😂That has to be the most complex process I've ever seen for removing the aluminium from that type of cable.. use a Stanley knife, it takes seconds, I've literally stripped miles of that stuff by hand
I don't know how to tell you this, but you don't actually have to do things 100% efficiently every minute of every day, sometimes it's fine to do things in a way you enjoy or find fun, simply for the sake of it.
@@Saplingbat for sure, but this is a legit good tip, peeling that cable with a good knife would've taken a few minutes, and left no small plastic shrapnel.
This is the first time one of his vids have been in my feed for a while, and I'm now convinced that it was you invoking the algorithm that made it happen.
A fun addition to your setup may be an eddy current generator. Basically a drum covered in magnets that spins. If you run your scrap shreds over it, the plastic should drop from gravity and the aluminum will get a bit of a flicking action that can send it down a secondary chute into a separate container. Much less water waste, and less need for the drying step!
@@sparky9327Eddy currents have to do with conducting electricity through the substance to make it magnetic, kind of like the magnet falling in the copper pipe demo if you’ve ever seen that
@@sparky9327If you put aluminum in a magnetic field it sets up eddy currents. I've put a block of aluminum in an MRI and it moves freely in and out of the bore but greatly resists rotating across the magnetic flux lines. Recyclers use the effect with a spinning magnet to separate aluminum from other materials.
I appreciate your hard work, I pored aluminum back in my younger days. My question is have they ever asked you for a test sample to determine what alloy you’ve melted down?

A tip: if your wires won't go through the the wire stripper, instead of shredding them (and of course making more mess for yourself) cut the plastic casing off with a Stanley blade and THEN shred your metal once everything is stripped from the outside and the core. Honestly this way saves you alot of time and sifting.
@@danglebits2558how many UA-cam videos have you made though? What's more interesting to watch, what he did, or watching a turkey with a knife sit there and whittle? It's not about the aluminium. It's about the spectacle.
nice i want your shredder so bad haha, when adding the water to separate the plastics and rubber from the aluminium, if you did a second wash with salt water you will get a better density separation from the plastics and rubber from the metals if that helps, and can always just reuse the same water tub for this part of the process, and could do a magnet belt and eddy current slide to try and split the metals once they are dry if you are after a more pure ingot only just found your channel and this video but seeing that shredder makes me want to get back into melting and casting so bad.
It's called the "Venturi Effect". He's blowing compressed air into the hose which creates a vacuum that sucks the water into the other end of the hose.
Those was huge molds. I bet those was pricey. I think I am going to make 2x2 inch angle aluminum. Maybe 6 foot long. I see a aluminum tandem trailer in my future
Love the sound of the metal melting the ice. I’m sure stripping the cable and separating from the ally would have been easier and quicker a sharp knife though. Still made a good video to watch.
Once the ingots are dunked into water, it takes only a few minutes before you can grab them with bare hands. Copper, Brass is the same time line as well. 😀
if you cut the outside large tube with a ceramic bladed knife then the three inside would be small enough to strip. I've done it before and sorry that happened as it was coming along. good luck.
I was wondering that too. I think it's most likely that that was just a joke (i.e. Mmm(!) Yum(!) Aluminium stew, my _favourite_ ...(!)) but there is a very real possibility that there is some chemical effect of adding a tiny bit of salt and we're just ignorant of it.
tbh to everyone saying he should've stripped the cables with a knife, i think the method he chose worked out better for melting it down anyway. I'm no expert so don't take this comment too seriously.
"I wasted several gallons of water and electricity and burned plastic because i was too lazy or dumb to cut the plastic off the wires and wasted more time than it would have taken to just simply do that." There corrected the title.
After i saw somones arm half way into one of those shredders i feel a little bit of anxiety everytime somone shows one running. In a video without any sort of chute on top
This seems like a needlessly complicated way to get rid of a couple blocks of ice.
i wonder why not just put those block of ice in container, so when you put your pour into the ice, it will cool and submerge with ice water and not slide around and no mess
This guy is just copying Big stack D Casting and unfortunately earns a lot of views because of stealing!

Wow that was a lot of work for something that could have been solved with a utility knife and 10 minutes of time
Exactly.
Yes
No shit I was thinking those cables would be he'll easy to strip
Aye I was thinking surely there is a better way to extract the wire
The work was probably for ASMR purposes
Wonder how long you'll be finding aluminum splinters on your patio after that spill
Or in your feet or your kids 🙄?
😂That has to be the most complex process I've ever seen for removing the aluminium from that type of cable.. use a Stanley knife, it takes seconds, I've literally stripped miles of that stuff by hand
Exactly. What a way to make it the most complicated process ever to clean that aluminum cable.
Perhaps he already uses this equipment for copper@@leonroode

That's fine but there is a large waste of water which was unnecessary if the wire was stripped manually with a knife. @@Saplingbat
@@Saplingbat for sure, but this is a legit good tip, peeling that cable with a good knife would've taken a few minutes, and left no small plastic shrapnel.

Maybe it's because there are channels that do it better. Like ones that actually take the time to explain what they're doing.
probably would have been easier and smarter to just use a razor blade to strip it probably would have been cleaner maybe even faster
😂
Literally chose the hardest solution possible lol

Should have manually stripped the outer rubber insulation. Electric stripper for the smaller wires inside. Much faster.
Зачем нужны 3 Шредера, если они не разделили металл от изоляции? Проще ножом срезать было, алюминий был бы гораздо чище

Where do you get ice that big and that clear?
Where did you get the shredder?
Where did you get the metal shredder from
Your yard looks amazing
Дайте этому человеку, концелярский нож

Are you going to continue this channel, could you update on ur situation if possible
Ben, there is only one thing that could make this video more spectacular: If it were 30 mins long! 😊
All of those needless machine processes, yet no shop vac to tackle the mess you made on the patio. 👌
Glad i saw that dope amazing air hose siphon trick. Nice
Yeah, that was a stroke of genius

So just out of curiosity... does 37lbs of aluminum pay for all of the energy and time that goes into recovering it?... asking for a friend 😆😉
Doubt it, but it's all for the video anyways.
Ive never seen your stuff but i love it
Very funny beginning to the video!
But it's all great stuff! And a completely original idea...
...which happens a LOT on this channel !
Was going great tol that tub exploded lol
watching everything go right first time for someone else is its own kind of therapy.

Now I understand the thinking behind rust
I would be honored to be recycled the same way as these wires
i loved the salt bit way too much it was totally chefs kiss
Its like Murphy's law was targetting you at the beginning of this vid 😂, hope it was worth the trouble.
Make a jig to strip the cover from the wire. Then chop the wire.
I loved the water idea... right up until the box burst
4:03 hmmm well seasoned hot metal
Love the sound of the metal melting the ice.
I’m sure stripping the cable and separating from the ally would have been easier and quicker a sharp knife though. Still made a good video to watch.
Not you throwing a stuffed rat in the shredder at 0:41 😂😂😂
How long does it take to get the aluminum to melt
Once the ingots are dunked into water, it takes only a few minutes before you can grab them with bare hands. Copper, Brass is the same time line as well. 😀
That was a lot going on just to get the metal ready for melt 😂
At about 41 seconds it looks like you throw a mouse in the shedder too. 😂
Fun fact Himalayan pink salt usually has the highest amount of led content of the table salts.
OK. Now You have two shiny aluminum bricks, but what You wanna do with them?
I recommend to build a house 🤪
I am a subscriber since you had
firefighting hose?
Did you do a "Shurap" with the salt and the thumb up?
Was the salt actually needed, or was it just a gag?
Kami senang lihat video anda karena ada komedinya sehingga membuat penonton terhibur.untuk videonya keren..berbeda dengan yang lain...👍
If you have a crucible and a furnace why not just throw them in there whole why even strip? Would that mess up the quality of the final product
That ice block was 100% yum city.
if you cut the outside large tube with a ceramic bladed knife then the three inside would be small enough to strip. I've done it before and sorry that happened as it was coming along. good luck.
why not do it with a jokari the right size?
pretty cool process
At first glance i thought it was a pot of greens
Why did he season it with salt?

just cannot understand why you have put yourself through all that hard work it can only be for your video right
Not sure if im reading this right but according to the current spot price thats about $37 worth of aluminum
